Online sailors are challenged to master the art of one of Britain's most successful Olympic sports using touchscreen gestures to gybe, tack and sail around a championship course, in the fastest time, whilst collecting bonus stars to increase their scores.
Don’t forget to leave your score on the online leader-board to see if you have what it takes to be crowned the ‘Sail for Gold Game’ Champion.
Great game--very good physics. I wish I could see the course beforehand and/or adjust the view. Need to know where I'm headed prior to the mark rounding.
This game is really fun, but some of the penalties are messed up. I'll get penalized for hitting a port tack boat while on starboard tack. It also penalizes the leeward boat for hitting the windward boat, when the opposite should actually be the penalty. Also it's super annoying that the player always starts on port tack. I almost always hit the committee boat unless I turn up into the wind more than I want to. A 10-20 second start sequence would be a lot more fun and realistic!
Game is pretty good. Need ability to adjust competition level. Needs more than two courses. Need to change the direction of the wind from course to course. Need a knot speedometer.
It consistently crashes on certain boats. Furthermore, when it does work, you always start on a port tack with the committee boat in the way, thereby allowing the computer boat to win 9 times out of 10. The computer boat always starts on a starboard rack.
I was really excited when I came across a true sailing sim only to be let down by bad controls... How about a simple tiller? The physics are good but lack of precise control ruins it all. Give me a tiller or a wheel and I'll give it five stars...
It would be a better game if the steering was smoother! It's like trying to steer a Mack truck!!
Good try but the steering function is painfully slow. Another problem is that you cannot see the marks. The guiding arrow does not appear until you get close to the mark so you are basically sailing blind. I tried following the competitor to learn the marks, but it is too tough to remember where they are in the next race. I would be happy to pay for a version with good steering, better mark indicators, and more than one competitor in the race.
The game keeps crashing every time I pick a team and I just got the NEW update.
